  • Quiet Alpes-Maritimes family campsite by the Vésubie river
  • On the edge of Mercantour National Park near Roquebillière
  • Play area, trampoline and pétanque on site, plus ice cream sales
Make your way along a winding mountain road from the pretty pink-stone village of Roquebillière and in five minutes or so you’ll get to the scenic site of Camping Les Templiers, where partially shaded grass pitches sit next to the banks of the Vésubie river. This Alpes-Maritimes site has a backdrop of forested peaks, which may well entice you out for a hike, a bike ride or a climb in the local area – various providers in the area can sort you out with days of canyoning and climbing (including via ferrata routes), and there are lots of trails to follow in the nearby Mercantour National Park, the edge of which is about 10 minutes’ drive away. For a break from meandering through mountain peaks, there’s plenty to occupy you back at the campsite, including a trampoline and play area for younger kids and table football and ping-pong for older offspring. There’s space for games of football too, or you can try a bit of gentle competition at the pétanque court. Having Roquebillière so close by means that sourcing meals should be easy here – you can walk into the village centre in about 15 minutes to try out one of its bars or bistros, or pick up supplies. There’s also a small shop on site selling local produce along with those holiday essentials of soft drinks and ice creams. Breakfast and daily pastries can also be ordered for delivery the following morning.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Gentillesse du personnel, camping à côté du cours d'eau donc jolie cadre avec ruissellement de l'eau pour dormir, localisation intéressante notamment pour les différents cols adjacents -En contre-bas des axes routiers donc très calme

Disliked: - Gestion approximative : on me donne un emplacement qui est déjà prit (à 2 reprises) or j'avais besoin de l'électricité - Horaire annoncé via Pitchup : 20h alors que l'horaire réel est jusque 19h -Le wifi annoncé "sur tout le camping" ne donnait pas sur mon emplacement -Moustique très très présent lié au cours d'eau

From the manager: Bonjour, Nous vous remercions pour votre avis et nous excusons pour la gène occasionnée lié à votre emplacement. Malheureusement, même si cela reste extrêmement rare, certains campeurs font preuve de peu de civisme et choisissent un autre emplacement que celui initialement attribué sans nous prévenir, ce qui nous dérange tout autant que vous. L'horaire de la réception indiqué sur pitchup est cependant tout à fait correct. Nous fermons à 20h en juillet et août et 19h le reste de la saison. Cordialement,

Sehr schöner Campingplatz mit vielen Bäumen und guten Möglichkeiten, eine Hängematte aufzuhängen.…

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: We were caught in traffic so arriving after reception closed at 8pm. We emailed the site and they replied letting us know our pitch number which was helpful. Having been caught in traffic we had no supplies with us but there was a mobile food van serving excellent burgers and chips, and beer/wine which was exactly what we needed. We only stayed one night but the site was clean and friendly.

Disliked: The toilet block was clean but had seen better days, no toilet seats on the toilets.

Local attractions

There’s lots of gorgeous scenery to explore in the Mercantour National Park, and you should be able to explore it easily enough from here, with the park’s boundary about 10 minutes’ drive away. The Cascade du Ray waterfall (20 minutes’ drive) is a good place to start nearby, perhaps followed by a hike around La Gordolasque (half an hour). If you’d like to try out some different activities while you’re in the area, you should have plenty of choice – for starters there’s canyoning (five minutes), climbing at Via Ferrata Lantosque (10 minutes) and horse riding (15 minutes). Vesúbia Mountain Park (15 minutes) is another good spot for activities, with a swimming pool, climbing wall and multi-activity days available for kids in the school holidays. And how about seeing some rare wildlife in its natural habitat? At Alpha Animal Park (half an hour) you’ll hide away in special shelters designed to help guests spot wolves as they roam through the woods.
